It has been a long while since my last update.
Basically, I have made it to a new job rank, with a title of Automation Manager. Now I have 3 junior engineers reporting to me, and enough power to pull a lot of activities together to a bigger picture of making the factory better automated.
I have also gone through a lot of CAPEX work. In the picture above is my first Electrical Room I actually design, construct and build everything. Not the best, and not yet fully completed, but your first-born is always the most memorable.
Worked 400hr a month to get to this point.
An update to my previous note on perfect batching: I applied the same formula to another process, and managed to get accuracy of +/- 0.3L at 10,600L/hr flowrate.
I am aiming for more accuracy by "machine-learning" it by updating the formula a bit:
Cutoff point = Setpoint - Flowrate * Shut off time - Previous Batch Error * Gain
With Previous Batch Error = Setpoint - Previous batch Actual.
Gain = 0 to 1, but I prefer 1. Make it smaller if you are not risk taker
This will eliminate errors, even if you take out Flowrate * Shut off time
My boss is actually building an automation and calibration lab in the factory, so I am thrill to publish a scientific paper based on this :D. Let's see
